What will you be doing a year from today? You don’t know? Why then should you care about a thousand years from today? You should care, and you’ll be surprised why! Serious thinkers are now asking what will the world be like in the Year 3000. How many people will live on earth? How long will we live? How will we work? Play? Propagate? Communicate. Worship? Wonder? What will our cities look like? Nations? Oceans? Families? Bodies? What about business, government, school, religion? How far into space will humans have ventured?
